Cannabis As Medicine: Certificate Course for Practitioners and Public Saturday, February 2nd, 2019

The Edmonton Herb Club is pleased to partner with Herbalist & Educator Jeananne Laing and bring Cannabis As Medicine back to Edmonton in February 2019.

Cannabis, like any other herb, has a long history of traditional use as food, clothing, & medicine. With legalization slated for Fall 2018, more and more people have questions about cannabis-whether it help certain health conditions, the why’s and hows of how it may do that, and how best to access it and use it.

Let’s leave the reefer madness behind & explore the medicinal aspect of cannabis in a grounded, factual & sensible approach to it’s use for various health conditions.

Cannabis As Medicine: Saturday Feb 2, 9:30-5pm

Everyone Welcome!

This innovative workshop will provide sound, practical knowledge on the safe and effective use of cannabis and how it can be used to treat a wide variety of health issues.

This is a foundational workshop that lays the groundwork for understanding the therapeutic aspects of cannabis. The content is targeted for both Health Care Practitioners & lay people who are interested more about the science supporting how cannabis can support various health conditions.

This certificate program is suitable for Herbalists, Nutritionists, Nurses, Naturopathic Doctors, or TCM Doctors to better understand how cannabis can and may be used by their clients, or anyone contemplating the use of or giving advice on the use of cannabis as medicine.

This course is also open to anyone (non-practitioners & general public) who wants a better understanding of the therapeutic benefits of cannabis & how to legally access it.

*Includes certificate from Lodgepole School of Wholistic Studies. A certificate will be issued upon completion of a take home exam (based on workshop content). May be eligible for CEU’s with your professional organization-please check with your individual organization.
